    So exhilarating! "The Courtyard House: Rising from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" is absolutely amazing! Transmigrating into a swarm of shrewish characters in a traditional courtyard house, facing Qin Huairu's moral blackmail, Jia Zhangshi's tantrums, and Yan Bugui's cunning, the protagonist decisively escapes the vortex of internal strife, using his solid foreign language skills to gain entry into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Set during the early days of China's diplomacy, amidst the era of "starting from scratch" and "cleaning the house before inviting guests," he engages in verbal battles with foreign missions, navigates diplomatic traps, and contributes to the "seeking common ground while reserving differences" principle at the Bandung Conference, rising from a low-level employee to a pillar of the nation. He displays the demeanor of a great power in the workplace, and back in the courtyard, he decisively deals with the awful characters, protecting national dignity while resolving neighborhood disputes.

    Both books are by the same author; the second is a sequel to the first. This story features a father and son as the main characters, with the father initially taking center stage, while the son becomes the protagonist later. The son confesses his rebirth to his parents at the beginning and uses it to scheme for his father's career advancement. The entire story feels realistic and grounded in reality, not a typical male-centric wish-fulfillment novel. The descriptions of officialdom are detailed and engaging. The second book had a lower rating because the author's updates were inconsistent recently, but he has recently started updating daily.
